ED Caused by the Internet

If you struggle with ED, it is possible that some of your Internet activities are responsible for it.

Don’t worry, your news-reading and most social media use are probably completely safe.

It’s another type of Internet use that causes this condition. And the good news is that his type of ED is fortunately easy to reverse.

The BBC recently ran a documentary called “Brought up on Porn” interviewing men who complained the large amounts of pornography available on the Internet got them hooked to increasingly extreme images that rendered real life sex a bit underwhelming.

They complained that, because of all the pornography they watched online, they could no longer get an erection when with their partners, even when they were sexually attracted to them and wanted to have sex.

They also interviewed a psychosexual therapist who claimed she suddenly had to consult with lots of younger, healthy men who had developed ED after habitual Internet pornography viewing.

At this stage the research is thoroughly mixed, with some studies finding heavy pornography use to contribute to ED, while others find no such link.

The fact that they cannot agree may mean different types of pornography use should be separated, and tested separately. For example, people who are addicted should be tested separately from people who are not, and people who watch straight vaginal intercourse should be tested separately from those who watch specialist fetish films like ones based on BDSM themes.

As such, it is possible some types of pornography contribute to ED, while others do not, and some people are vulnerable to pornography-induced ED while others are not.

But instead of reviewing these inconsistent studies, which will be rather dull, let’s rather consider why many scientists think pornography may cause ED.

A Harvard psychologist called Deirdre Barrett has written a book in which she explains it in terms of a concept called supernormal stimulus.

According to biologists, a supernormal stimulus is one in which an object that naturally arouses us has been enhanced. For example, pleasant sweetness no longer means fruit, it means sugar and chocolate, while guns and death have replaced fists and black eyes as the satisfying way to get back at the school bully.

Eventually, we can get aroused only by the supernormal stimulus and no longer by the normal stimulus. They override our natural instincts.

This concept explains why scientists can get birds to reject their own eggs by giving them eggs that are larger and more heavily speckled than their own natural eggs. They even managed to get geese to prefer sitting on soccer balls rather than on their own eggs.

Similarly, watching abnormally perfect and/or unusually well-endowed bodies having super active sex may dampen our arousal when confronted by the more ordinary and natural stimuli that used to arouse us.

Furthermore, when watching porn, we can skip past the foreplay and dive straight into the sex, even rewinding and replaying as we wish. This is a highly artificial exaggeration of an experience that used to be good enough to get us aroused.

Luckily, this effect is reversible, as scientists discovered when they withdrew the large density speckled eggs and soccer balls. The birds happily returned to their own eggs. A boy on the BBC documentary also stated that 100 days without Internet porn restored his sexual function.

But if porn is not the cause of your erectile dysfunction, then use the simple technique found here to get you strong and hard as soon as tonight…
